Cannot Get

[kjsingh44]

I am unable to get this working. I have followed all the deployment steps as indicated, however when I visit my web page I receive a "cannot get" message.

These are the settings on Azure. My webpage is http://ismstampery.azurewebsites.net/

Is there a way to get access to more documentation on this ?

@kjsingh44 It is expected that the root of the site returns "cannot get".

The manifest you should use when adding your deployment to your Office is at http://ismstampery.azurewebsites.net/manifest-officeblock.xml. However, you should rerun the deployment by specifying the URL with https scheme, because Office doesn't allow add-ins via the http scheme. Even though https://ismstampery.azurewebsites.net/manifest-officeblock.xml is already accessible, the content of the XML has:

<SourceLocation DefaultValue="http://ismstampery.azurewebsites.net/FunctionFile/Functions.html"/>

And for this reason, Office would try to fetch add-in files over the http URL.

I rebuilt it completely. Even created a new site : https://stampery1.azurewebsites.net/

I went to office --> options --> Trust center --> Settings --> Add-in Catalogs --> in catalog url I added https://stampery1.azurewebsites.net/ and checked show in catalog.

However when I go to word and look at Inset --> My Add ins
I dont see stampery there. Am I missing something ?
Please help.

@kjsingh44 When you add the add-in, you need to use the manifest URL, i.e., https://stampery1.azurewebsites.net/manifest-officeblock.xml and not the root of the site. You can read more from https://dev.office.com/docs/add-ins/overview/office-add-ins.

Thanks for your reply @vjrantal . I forgot to mention that I did try the manifest url as well. This is where I am adding the url in word :

After applying the above I restart word and I go to Insert --> My Add ins --> Shared Folder tab and see this :

Could you please help. Thanks

@kjsingh44 It might not be clear from the readme, but the implementation is currently intended to be used from Outlook and would not work as is on other Office environments like Word. You can try to find specific instructions for how to add Outlook add-ins, but one is here https://dev.office.com/docs/add-ins/testing/sideload-outlook-add-ins-for-testing. See also https://www.microsoft.com/reallifecode/2017/04/10/stampery-blockchain-add-microsoft-office/ that has some screenshots about what the add-in should look like within Outlook.
